PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR

A STUDY OF HOW ACTIVE HOUSE-HUNTERS EXPLORE AND FORM PREFERENCES FOR
DIFFERENT STYLES OF HOUSES.

As a participant in this study, you would be asked to come to the Research
Laboratory for Immersive Virtual Environments (RELIVE) at the University of
Waterloo.  You would have a chance to walk around inside some virtual house
interiors while wearing a head-mounted display.  Several non-invasive
sensors will be used to measure your heart rate and your emotional responses
to what you see. You will also be asked to complete some questionnaires
describing your experiences in the virtual homes.  We will also ask you some
questions about your background (age, occupation, education, and cultural
background).  If you have had a recent ear infection causing difficulties
with balance or you have a special proneness to motion sickness, you should
not volunteer for this study.

Your participation would involve one session, which is approximately 60
minutes.

In appreciation for your time, you will receive $15.  In addition, we will
reimburse you for travel expenses up to the amount of $25.
